yo im late but when i first got my polish frizzle bantams years ago from their breeder their crests were up to keep them out of the mud (because they’re show birds) and the result was amazing
chef hats/make-up brush hair
i love them thank you for the advice
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to Google what frizzles looked like normally and
even if you’re not a supernatural fan, if you’ve been on tumblr long enough you are, like, culturally. like cultural christianity in america except it’s the cw’s supernatural. you may never have watched an episode or set foot inside the tag but your regular life shuts down on their holidays and all of your world news is delivered through that point of view. something to think about
doing the lightly insane thing of recording something to cassette in the year of our lord 2023. of course i immediately went for FaTT’s discography and did a little cover.
It does help actually, to post the whole context of Hank Green supporting sex workers
Raise your hand if you’re just incredibly fucking tired of people taking things the Green Brothers say out of context to make fun of some of the straight white dudes that use that privilege to their advantage to help marginilized people.
The Green brothers speak out about racial injustice, financial inequality, homophobia, housing issues (including homelessness), mental illness (ESPECIALLY John, who has gone through intense depression and anxiety in the past), and many other topics.
They provide dozens of free resources for students online, specifically Crash Course, and every year during the holidays they donate thousands of dollars to multiple charities.
They actively acknowledge their privilege and use it to lift other people up and provide resources for those who don’t have the same privilege.
I’m sure many people don’t know this, but John and Hank CREATED VidCon. They’re the reason VidCon exists today. They were some of the ORIGINAL YouTubers, and they’re one of the only platforms on YouTube that has stayed true to their original content idea.
People LOVE to hate on them. They love it. John was sent so many death threats and harassed so much that he gave up all social media but YouTube for a long time. The reason? People claimed he was glorifying cancer (which if you’ve actually READ the book, he doesn’t) and that he was a “pervert” for writing about high schoolers (as if LITERALLY every single book about a high schooler isn’t written by someone older than 18 I mean Jesus Christ people). Hes spoken on this a couple times but stopped because people just ignored him and dragged his name through the gutters.
The hate on Hank is, from what I’ve seen, fairly recent - he was kind of the forgotten brother for a while. Until he published a book where the main character was bisexual. And he said positive things about trans people. And then suddenly “Hank Green is just a dumb man and his opinions are trash.” Almost like people didn’t like that the “science man” was openly supportive of homosexuality
The Green brothers acknowledge when they get things wrong. They speak out on injustice, on inequality, and they always, ALWAYS try to do what’s right. They are some of the most wholesome straight white men I’ve ever come across in life in general, and it infuriates me that people reduce them to “okay? okay” and “oh didnt he do Crash Course?”
And now hank green is the honorary father of gen z and science tiktok
on this blog we respect the green brothers
Somewhere along the line some people saw ‘people with more privilege in certain areas are less likely to be as aware of their advantages because they are not forced to be aware of the issues constantly’, and somehow read it as ‘if someone ticks enough Privilege Boxes then they’re a Bad Person by default and I’m allowed to bully them’, and those people are a blight on the community.
I love seeing “self-care” posts that are full of great ideas like drinking water and eating food and generally meeting your bodily needs, and they also say something like “go to bed at 9:00 pm”
My life experiences have shown me that if I feel like going to bed before 11:00 pm, this means one of a few things:
I’m getting the flu
I’m off my meds
I’m about to have a total mental breakdown from stress and exhaustion
Right but these are all times when you’re doing it as a natural response to other stressors. Go to bed at 9pm to take care of yourself, when you’re not at your worst. Then you might not have that break down or at least you’ll have the energy to handle it better
You’re missing what I’m trying to say here.
If I went to bed at 9pm it would accomplish nothing but giving me a miserable 4 hours of lying in bed vibrating with restlessness.
As a child and a young teenager I had persistent, incurable insomnia. I would lie in bed every night for hours unable to sleep and it was awful. I also woke up in the middle of the night sometimes multiple times.
Then, around the time I was 15-16 or so, I started staying up later (going to bed around 12:30) and my insomnia magically disappeared. I started falling asleep within 15 minutes of getting in bed.
This is soooo true. Sometimes you need the Comfy Time, not sleeping just resting and making space for calm. I love taking some time for the Comfy Time it’s so blissful
